What is the Motive


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Dec 17, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

While everyone argues over vaccines and who created COVID, all of these debates and questions dominate 99% of the online agenda. There is something SERIOUSLY mining and that simply the end goal and what is the motive. Some try to claim that there are dark forces hidden behind the images of Gates and Schwab. Some claim that Schwab is just a marketing man. What they fail to understand is the MOTIVE and why are politicians jumping at the chance to lock people down?

If any fund manager ran his business the way that all governments, they would be thrown in prison for 20 year+. They continually borrow today to pay the last bondholder. There is no intention whatsoever of ever paying off the debts. The end game is that this scheme is coming to an end. The negative interest rates in Europe have wiped out the bondholders, pension funds, and kept governments on life-support since 2014. There is ABSOLUTELY no way out of this mess other than what I submitted in meetings and when I saw they were more inclined to take Schwab’s ideas, I did the Solution Conference in 2015.

The MOTIVE is to default on all government debts and to hide their failure, Schwab is presenting this as you will own nothing and be happy because governments will erase all debt. Pension will be replaced by Guaranteed Basic Income.

So while everyone argues over COVID, vaccines, COVID passports, and lockdowns, the real plot is never discussed. This is what 2032 is all about. It is the end of an era that began with Keynesian Economics and the Great Depression. Part of Schwab’s 2030 agenda is to end democracy they call “populism” for we are too stupid to know what is best for us, when it is all about them retaining power.

The 2022 elections will be rigged around the world. Australia will probably go to the election in March, or between February and May. In France, the first round of the 2022 French presidential election will be held on April 10, 2022. Should no candidate win a majority of the vote in the first round, a runoff will be held between the top two candidates on April 24, 2022. The next Hungarian parliamentary elections will be held in April or May 2022 and this will be certainly a vote on COVID. The next Italian general election is due to be held in Italy no later than June 1, 2023. In Britain, the next general election will be held on May 2, 2024, in line with the Fixed-term Parliaments Act. These are just some key elections. Of course, the US mid-term election will be in November that is showing to be a Panic Cycle.

With so much on the line for these people pushing their agenda, their greatest risk is in the elections. The need to control that process to achieve their end goal.

Global Health And The Politics Of Catastrophe – Who will save us from the WHO and its new world order?

Imagine control of all future responses to virus outbreaks – influenza, for instance – being dictated to the entire world by a cadre of unelected health bureaucrats in a distant country or continent? A repeat of the past two years every time there is a bad flu – but without a control group such as Sweden or Tanzania demonstrating a less harmful alternative? Welcome to COVID-19 Version ##, a future the World Health Organization (WHO) is aiming to realize through a process just agreed in Geneva with your governments.

Most Western people had previously considered the WHO to be a benign, do-good group of people in Geneva dealing with the problems of ‘others’, somewhere where they are presumably needed. We had democracies that looked after ‘us’, governments chosen and held accountable by us, and we never needed the WHO. But it was comforting to know the WHO was there, for others.

The past two years should have changed that perception. The WHO is a primary architect of the unprecedented abrogation of basic societal rights and freedoms t…Quality journalism costs money to produce.

Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women Should Not be Vaccinated


Armstrong Economics Blog/Vaccine Re-Posted Dec 17, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

This is a horrendous story to report but I would like my readers to have a full understanding of the repercussions of mRNA vaccines. I previously reported that the government-sponsored Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) admittedly records fewer than 1% of adverse reactions, and therefore, we do not understand the full scope of side effects. As of the first week of December, VAERS reported 52 infant deaths and 30,550 adverse reactions in children under 17. Even VAERS acknowledges this figure is drastically understated.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women have been losing their babies due to bleeding disorders after being exposed to the vaccine. A mother-to-be received two COVID shots of Moderna’s vaccine during her final trimester. It was supposed to be “safe and effective” for pregnant women — at least, that’s what her government told her. Her baby was born alive but was bleeding profusely from its mouth and nose. “The doctor said that after the patient was born, there was a cry. When the umbilical cord was cut for newborn care, the nursing staff found that the patient had symptoms of oral and nose bleeding, and immediately asked the pediatrician to intubate and give him oxygen, and he was admitted to the NICU,” according to the report received by VAERS. Case No. 1879991 was listed of dying from “transplacental exposure” likely due to the vaccines given to the mother during pregnancy. “In the NICU, his result of examination showed abnormal blood coagulation, pulmonary hemorrhage [acute bleeding from the lungs], and cardiac dysfunction,” the VAERS report claimed.

Another report notes that a five-month-old breastfeeding baby died from Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP), a rare bleeding disorder, a day after his mother received the vaccine. In another case, a two-year-old child from Alaska “began bleeding out the mouth, eyes, nose, and ears within six hours of the shot,” and died that evening. That specific report has been scrubbed from the internet.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should be exempt if not forbidden from receiving the mRNA vaccine. Please stay informed.

Stralsund Police Placed on Santa’s Naughty List


Armstrong Economics Blog/Germany Re-Posted Dec 17, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

A video has gone viral of German police officers arresting Santa Claus at a Christmas market in Stralsund. At the same time, around 65 people had gathered at the market to peacefully protest Germany’s strict COVID restrictions. Santa refused to wear a mask or provide identification, leading to police forcefully arresting him in front of children.

The police issued the following statement (translated): “Among those present, there was also a person disguised as Santa Claus. Police were also surprised to see that Santa Claus was breaking the law and was also expressing his opinion through a poster. The 47-year-old from Stralsund was clearly a player in the rally. He was not hired as Santa Claus in the Christmas market in this city.”

Santa was released later in the evening. Nothing spreads holiday cheer like aggressively arresting a man dressed at Santa Claus at a Christmas village in front of families with children. I think it is safe to say these police officers were put on the naughty list. Germany has been attempting to phase out coal, but given this behavior, Scholz should consider increasing production for the holiday season.

Amid Ever-Increasing Gas Prices Joe Biden Ramps Up Fear of Omicron Threat


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 16, 2021 | Sundance | 343 Comments

The medical community has continued to say the Omicron variant, to the extent there is such a thing, is akin to a traditional head cold.  Symptoms include sniffling, sneezing, coughing and a stuffy head.  However, that said, the Omicron is also being used as a justification for shutting down human activity.

One way to look at the motives of Omicron as a tool to control behavior, is a method to stop travel, work, transportation services and other economic activity that involves the use of gasoline.  In essence, Omicron becomes a tool to target the demand side of higher gas prices.  If the proles would just stay home and lock down, then demand for energy would slow, and the citizens would not notice the negative effects of energy policy.

Enter Joe Biden today, to tell everyone the Omicron variant will fill up the hospitals with the unvaccinated and unboosted during a time when the winter cold and flu season generally does the same.  The White House fear mongering is in direct proportion to the drop in White House approval ratings. WATCH:

BIDEN – […] “Omicron has not yet spread as fast as it would’ve otherwise done and as is happening in Europe. But it’s here now, and it’s spreading, and it’s going to increase.  For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm.” (read more)

Japan: No Vaccine Will Be Provided Without Consent


Armstrong Economics Blog/Japan Re-Posted Dec 16, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

I applaud the Japanese government for taking a more ethical approach to vaccinations by providing citizens with the right to make their own healthcare decisions. The country has announced that vaccines are encouraged, but not mandatory:

“Although we encourage all citizens to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, it is not compulsory or mandatory. Vaccination will be given only with the consent of the person to be vaccinated after the information provided.”

The vaccines will now contain warning labels, like all drugs aside from the COVID-19 vaccines list. “This product contains an additive that has never been used in a vaccine before,” will be listed in the product description. Side effects such as myocarditis will be noted on the packaging to ensure transparency; those who choose to take the vaccine should understand the risks involved. The country is taking things a step further by requiring strict reporting of vaccination side effects that must be filed within 28 days of receiving the second injection. Instead of assuming their citizens are sheep who will blindly follow orders, the Japanese government is giving the people a choice while providing them with factual information. It will be interesting to see what side effects the Japanese government compiles as no other country currently provides real pellucidity.

Furthermore, and perhaps equally as important as banning a mandate, the Japanese government said that neither public nor private sectors may discriminate against unvaccinated people. Prohibiting discrimination against individual medical decisions is a change from most developed countries that now treat a portion of their population like lepers of society.

“Please get vaccinated of your own decision, understanding both the effectiveness in preventing infectious diseases and the risk of side effects. No vaccination will be given without consent. Please do not force anyone in your workplace or those who around you to be vaccinated, and do not discriminate against those who have not been vaccinated.”

Build Back Better Inflation Driving Bill Not Likely to Get Senate Support Before Christmas Break, Wounded Communists Shift Effort to Federal Election Takeover


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 15, 2021 | Sundance | 135 Comments

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin appears to be done with the badgering and pressure over the Build Back Better legislation.

Politico reports the discussions between Senator Manchin and the White House are at a stalemate, with the White House saying “things are going poorly.”  Meanwhile, the New York Post is reporting that Manchin finally exploded on communist stenographers who have been continually hounding him for the past two months.

Senator Joe Manchin on Wednesday angrily shouted at reporters to go away — telling one, “You are bulls–t!” and “I’m done!” after he was peppered with questions about his reluctance to support President Biden’s mammoth social spending bill.

“I’m not negotiating with any of you, OK?” the West Virginia Democrat said as reporters followed him around Capitol Hill. 

Eventually Manchin added, raising his voice: “You guys, let me go. This is bulls–t. You are bulls–t! OK? I’m done! I’m done! God Almighty.” (link)

The communist guerillas never relent, they just modify their attack angles to keep pushing forward.

With the Build Back Broke bill unlikely to have enough support prior to the Christmas recess, the communists are trying to shift the focus to the federal takeover of elections.  However, on the election bill Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema will not support removing the Senate filibuster.

(Politico) Kyrsten Sinema supports the elections reform bill that Democrats are considering a year-end push to pass. She doesn’t support a shortcut around the filibuster to get it done.

The Arizona moderate is making clear that she intends to keep protecting the Senate’s 60-vote requirement on most legislation and she isn’t ready to entertain changing rules to pass sweeping elections or voting legislation with a simple majority. Her Democratic colleagues have been discussing those revisions as they weigh dropping their focus on President Joe Biden’s $1.7 trillion climate and social spending bill and pivoting to voting rights, though it’s not clear that avenue will be any more successful. (read more)

One of the issues working against the interests of the communists is the lack of support for Dear Leader.  A new media poll from CNN released today shows that 66 percent of the American electorate do not trust Joe Biden. [pdf Question 4]  It’s not only that American voters don’t like him and do not think he is competent to do the job, a full two-thirds of the American electorate do not trust him.

With no trust, no support and a large number of the American electorate recognizing that Joe Biden is only making things worse.  Well, there’s no pressure on Senator Joe Manchin or Senator Kyrsten Sinema to grab a seat on the sinking ship.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s Presser Should Alarm Everyone on Main Street


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 15, 2021 | Sundance | 112 Comments

To me, this is just jaw-dropping.  The Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell made statements today akin to saying the emperor is wearing a beautiful coat.  I can share examples, but to really encapsulate the issues, it’s actually easier to start by sharing a chart he presented when discussing inflation.

Do you notice anything missing in this chart?   Look at it carefully.

If you look at it and say: “hey, where’s the actual 2021 data he is talking about“, give yourself a cookie.

The guy is talking about the issue of 2021 inflation and expressing his empathy that inflation is running “far ahead” of the federal reserve projections.  Yet, the graphic Powell uses doesn’t even show the 2021 rate of inflation that he is expressing his concern about.

Why wouldn’t the graphic show the rate of inflation for 2021?   Well, take one look at what the graph would look like, and you realize immediately why he would not want to put it in front of people.

This is in essence what the graphic would look like if Powell included the 2021 inflation he is concerned about:

The 6.8% inflation rate is just about where the dot in the “j” of the word projection would be located.   That’s where we are currently.

Now, do you really think that scale of inflation is going to drop in a dramatic inverted V formation to where the Fed projects it will end up next year (the little red line in the thing that looks like a battery)?  Pro Tip: It won’t.

The chairman even said he anticipates “strong inflation throughout next year” into 2023.

Worse still, are his remarks leading into the segment where he talks about inflation:

(1) Powell claims the Fed “can see no signs of weakening consumer demand“.   Who in the Sam-hell is he talking to, and how can they not see a drop in consumer demand?

(2) Perhaps worse, the Fed Chairman says almost nothing about the largest ever drop in productivity last quarter (-5%), and instead is only slightly worried that the drop in productivity is larger than the increase in wages (+3%).   Whiskey – Tango – Foxtrot.  Does this guy not have anyone on Main Street who talks to him?  If I’m an employer paying three percent more and generating five percent less, what do you think I’m about to do?

Watch his remarks from 03:23 to 05:13 of the video below (prompted), and you will see what I mean:

The key takeaway is this….

…. Take care of your family, this is only going to get worse.

San Francisco Mayor Says a Law Abiding Peaceful City Will “Make a Lot of People Uncomfortable”, But They Gotta Do It Because Elections


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 15, 2021 | Sundance | 154 Comments

Apparently living amid a city that is fraught with crime is comfortable for a lot of people in San Francisco, at least according to one of the most leftist Mayors in the nation.  You know things are bad when the Mayor of San Francisco, who ran on a platform to remove cops from the streets, starts shouting about the “bull**it that has destroyed the city”, and proclaiming that rampant lawlessness needs to stop.

San Francisco Mayor London Breed delivered a statement yesterday that is the exact opposition of her social program message from the past few years.  Apparently, the rise in random gangs of looters destroying the city and organized retail theft has become problematic for the politicians who hold power over the city.

Quite a remarkable shift in position, however, the transparency of motive is clear.  Breed’s faux anger and conveniently new frustration over the crime surge in the city were on full display at her noon news conference where she changed the rules of the safari park.   WATCH:

Democrats are worried about how their anti-police position has brought the criminal chickens home to roost.  Politically, Democrats -writ large- are trying to distance themselves from the crime their policies have created.  National polls show voters are correctly attributing the rise in crime to Democrats.  Thus, they need to change direction quickly.

SAN FRANCISCO – After months of viral videos showing deteriorating conditions on the streets of San Francisco, including smash-and-grab robberies and open-air drug use, the city’s mayor has moved to implement a new public safety approach to curb criminal behavior. Her move could signal a recognition by the Democratic establishment that crime may prove a potent issue in upcoming elections.

Speaking at City Hall on Tuesday, San Francisco Mayor London Breed lamented “all the bullshit that has destroyed our city,” including thefts at high-end stores like Louis Vuitton, rampant vehicle break-ins and a seeming flood of the potent drug fentanyl. All of it has been captured on video, making for regular Fox News segments and rising consternation among Democrats who see crime as a potential weakness in next year’s midterm elections.

That last bullet point is a little funny, no?…

I mean what good were the city CCTV cameras if the police were not allowed to use them?

Were the cameras installed so the city could just randomly document criminals running amok for posterity?

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Introduces Anti-WOKE Legislation


Posted originally on the conservative tree house December 15, 2021 | Sundance | 89 Comments

WILDWOOD, Fla. – Today, Governor Ron DeSantis announced the Stop the Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees (W.O.K.E.) Act, a legislative proposal that will give businesses, employees, children and families tools to fight back against woke indoctrination.

The Stop W.O.K.E. Act will be the strongest legislation of its kind in the nation and will take on both corporate wokeness and Critical Race Theory. Today’s proposal builds on actions Governor DeSantis has already taken to ban Critical Race Theory and the New York Times’ 1619 project in Florida’s schools. For more information about the Stop W.O.K.E. Act, click here.

“In Florida we are taking a stand against the state-sanctioned racism that is critical race theory,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “We won’t allow Florida tax dollars to be spent teaching kids to hate our country or to hate each other. We also have a responsibility to ensure that parents have the means to vindicate their rights when it comes to enforcing state standards. Finally, we must protect Florida workers against the hostile work environment that is created when large corporations force their employees to endure CRT-inspired ‘training’ and indoctrination.” (read more)
